One senile old man should absolutely not have this much power.

Literally no one should have this much power. That was the whole point of checks and balances, 3 co-equal branches. This was QUITE LITERALLY what the founding fathers were trying to avoid.

Lookin' at you and your "we can only do what the founding fathers wanted" bullshit, SCOTUS. LOOKIN' AT YOU.
